Come and celebrate our rich cultural heritage through the magic of arts and literature with Deccan Literature Festival 2024, one of the premier literature festivals in India. 

Listen to soulful ghazals, mesmerising Hindustani poetry and stories, riveting qawwalis, thoughtful debates or get drawn into the powerful performances of theatre featuring established and newer artists — we promise, there is something for everyone. 

Founded in 2019 by Dakani Adab Foundation, the Deccan Literature Festival has quickly cemented itself as one of the most awaited arts and literature festivals of the country. Previous editions of this two-day immersive festival drew audiences not only from Pune, but greater Maharashtra and surrounding states.
